Qualifications

• 3+ years developing and integrating embedded Linux on ARM-based SoCs.
• Experience with Qualcomm Linux BSPs, Yocto and Debian build, packaging and deployment.
• Strong Linux boot-chain knowledge: bootloaders, kernels, device trees, drivers, filesystems, partitioning, services.
• Board/peripheral bring-up and debugging of I2C, SPI, UART, USB, PCIe, GPIO, and MIPI CSI-2.
• Experience with camera sensors, Linux camera drivers, V4L2/media-controller frameworks.
• EDL flashing, recovery, software updates, and non-booting platform diagnosis.
• Embedded power-management knowledge: suspend/resume, DVFS, runtime power management, thermal behavior, and power measurement.
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python, shell scripting, Device Tree Source (DTS), CMake/Make, BitBake, Git; Rust or Lua desirable.
• Analytical, communication, and coordination skills; autonomy, initiative, attention to detail, and professional English.

Responsibilities

• Bring up, configure, and maintain Qualcomm Linux BSPs with Yocto and Debian-based distributions for prototypes and production.
• Integrate and debug bootloaders, kernels, device trees, firmware, BSPs, and low-level services on Qualcomm SoCs.
• Bring up camera sensors and drivers: power sequencing, clocks, GPIOs, I²C, MIPI CSI-2, media-controller topology, and stream validation.
• Develop and troubleshoot secure and normal boot, partitioning, EDL flashing, factory provisioning, field updates, rollback, and recovery.
• Optimize power, thermals, and boot time using suspend/resume, runtime power management, DVFS, and peripheral power states.
• Integrate video, IMU, GNSS, communications, storage, and other product peripherals.
• Create reproducible images, recipes, layers, deployment procedures, diagnostics, and automated builds and tests.
• Debug hardware/software using logs, traces, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power measurements, and Qualcomm tools.
• Collaborate with hardware, AI, applications, systems, cybersecurity, verification, and product teams on interfaces and integration risks.
• Produce clear technical documentation; contribute to code reviews, releases, verification evidence, and continuous improvement.
